Week 5B: Defining Your Target Market

The target market for my business I'll be working with is going to be people in need of a professional photographer. My brother has extensive experience with wedding photography, and real estate photography. With his wide range of experience with shooting, he's opened up several avenues for himself as a freelancer. He has yet to find a niche with his talent since he's enjoyed all of the endeavors he's set himself towards.

Week16 - Planning Future Strategy

-
This semester has been a learning curve! I'm appreciative for all of the tools that were shared throughout this class, and I'll be taking away a lot from this course. After using several different platforms throughout this course I've realized that Facebook and Instagram were the most effect platforms for my business. Since I'm representing a photography business, Facebook provides a solid foundation to help businesses build themselves from the ground up while Instagram creates a perfect showcase for photography! When it comes down to what I thought was the least effective, I would have to say Twitter. I found it difficult to reach my target markets throughout this platform, and it's difficult to display work when needed. After reading through the different strategy tools, I've found a few that I'll definitely begin to implement into my daily strategies with my business. When it comes to organizing I think having a dedicated e-mail for social media accou

Week 3: Part 1 - Communication Between Business and Customer

-
Amongst everyone, I'm sure we've all encountered bad experiences with businesses at one point or another. Personally, I just went through a bad experience with one of my favorite clothing stores. I was in Anthropologie exchanging a top I bought online, and was expecting a simple exchange. The top I exchanged was to be delivered to my home, and the shipping was stated to be a maximum of 10 days. To put this story in a nutshell, the top never arrived due to an incorrect adjustment, and no shipping address was added tot he completed order.

If I would've made this public on social media I'm almost certain I would've received a response from the company. It's so important for companies to hear out their customers. As Likeab

Week 1A- Class Preparation

I decided to choose this template for a few reasons. When it comes to design, I've always taken a liking towards a full screen background and a nearly transparent opacity with a content container. I also like the color scheme of the layout. Although it can appear to be busy from the repetitive print, it still has a clean body within the blog. The image chosen also caught my eye as it reminded me of textures I work with everyday. Although I'm trying to step away from retail, my love for apparel will always be a part of me.  I thought this template summed up my side of my personality that has the eye for design, and I felt it would have a charming impact towards my viewers. I'm in favor towards the rustic/farmhouse design aspect, and I believed this entire design captured that. I felt it was some what simple, but not so simple that it's forgettable. I believe this ending statement could describe me as well, so it's very fitting! UPDATE: I went back and fourth
